iCalendar Acceptance Notifications

[ReedF]

I posted an iCalendar .ics file (I also tried vCalendar .vcs) on a web page
for people to use to "sign up" for a meeting and I wanted them to get
prompted about sending a resopnse to the meeting organizer when they accepted
(Edit before sending; send now; Don't send). It does add the meeting to their
calendar when they open the file and accept, but I can't get it to notify me
that they have accepted (all of this works if I send out an Outlook meeting
notice, but not when I use the .ics or .vcs file. Since I don't know who
might be interested I can't really send out the meeting notice. Can I
recieve notifications from an .ics or .vcs?

Please help. Thanks.

Problem solved!

Thanks Diane, but that doesn't help because I don't know who to invite (I
want a 'pull' system that allows any interested person sign up). But I
figured it out. I found some iCalendar doco on the web that gave me the RSVP
syntax and I was able to get the RSVP working.

Thanks Diane, I just read the whole page at
http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/pickmeeting.htm and that would've helped,
but I had already solved my problem by manually coding the RSVP line in the
..ics file.
Thanks!
